Hummingbirds
There are seven different types of
Hummingbirds known from KMHRP. Surely
others have occurred undetected....
Only two of these are common and
expected, regular, and resident.
That is, 99+% of the hummers there are
either Allen's, or Anna's, the two locally
abundant resident hummingbirds. Eucalyptus
and Bottlebrush are both good for them,
as are willow riparian edge, and often you
can even find them flycatching in the tules.
If it shows much rufous, or rusty color, it
is an Allen's. If it is all green without
rufous or rusty, it is probably an Anna's.
A few pairs of Black-chinned Hummingbirds
still nest in the willow riparian, and
sometimes, Costa's has nested too (rarely).
